33 1 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Texas, and is smaller, redder and less maculate than any I had previously 

 seen. Hampson treats it as a good species, figuring a Texas specimen, 

 but apparently not the type. He omits it from the tables, however, and 

 records both this and agrestis from Texas and Mexico. Some material 

 that I have from Texas and Arizona seems to indicate that the forms may 

 connect, and an examination of those in other collections has not helped 

 me in a separation. I should not feel justified, however, in making the 

 reference at present.] 



225. The species I had so listed is certainly not ierrealis, though I 

 have not yet found a name for it which satisfies me. It may be found to 

 connect with sordida Smith, described from Kaslo, but its rarity both 

 here and in British Columbia has prevented much study. A male type of 

 ierreaiis, from a figure of which Hampson's figure was taken, is in the 

 Brooklyn Museum. It has ciliate antennae merely and is more correctly 

 referable to Rhizagrotis Smith than to this group. 



228. Feltia hudsoni Smith. — I do not appear to have met with this 

 form here since writing my former notes, but have seen two females from 

 Stockton, Utah, in Prof. Smith's collection, which agree with the types 

 there. Under the circumstances, I have not had much further means of 

 judging whether the form is really a good species, or, as I rather suspect, 

 merely a variety of the following. 



229. F. ducefis Walk. — This is the common and widely distributed 

 species standing wrongly in our lists as siibgothica Haw., which is really 

 prior to tricosa Lint. The correction was originally made by the late 

 Prof Slingerland in Can. Ent., XXVIII, 295-299, who figured on Plate 

 4, at bottom, what he produced good evidence to show was Haworth's 

 type, a male from " U. S. A." The upper figure on the same plate is of a 

 female type oi tricosa in Slingerland's possession. Other types oi tricosa, 

 both of which I have seen, are a male from Albany, N. Y., in the Strecker 

 collection, and a female from New York in the British Museum, where is 

 also the type of siibgothica, obviously the same species. Sir George 

 Hampson catalogues and figures this and duce?is correctly, and Prof 

 Smith accepts the synonymy in Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc , XV, 146 (Sept., 

 1907), pointing out Slingerland's error in Can. Ent., XXVII, 301 (1895) 

 but apparently overlooking his correction made in the following year, and 

 referred to above. The type of ducens is a worn male in the British 

 Museum labelled " W. Canada, Orilla (Bush)," which probably means 

 Oriliia, Out.
